5 Ways You Can Turn Your Polymer Clay Hobby Into a Business

Earn some income out of your polymer clay hobby by trying out some of these business ideas.

If you are an arts and crafts aficionado, it’s highly likely that you’ve already tried using polymer clay for some of your artistic creations. Polymer clay is a medium that a lot of artists, hobbyists and even children love to use because it’s very pliable, versatile and easy to use.

Polymer clay is available in a variety of colors including metallic ones. It retains its color and size even after baking and can be made to resemble stone, semi-precious stones, porcelain, wood, and glass. Because of its versatility, the number of things you can create with it are endless. But did you know that you can turn this hobby of yours into a business?

We listed down 5 ways in which you can turn your polymer clay hobby into a money-making venture.
Organize a Workshop

Organize a Workshop

If you’re already an expert with polymer clay, then you’re the perfect candidate to teach other people about it. You can organize classes for the newbies and advance classes for those with more developed skills. Try organizing workshops for children too, especially during the summer season when parents normally enroll their kids in various learning activities.

Not everyone might have the time to attend classes so you might want to target those people in another way. Writing a book about polymer clay art will do just that. Don’t worry if you don’t know much about publishing. Just write your book and find a publishing company willing to partner with you. Alternatively, you can also opt to make an e-book instead and sell it online on sites such as Amazon.

Polymer clay art is also great to give away as wedding favors.

Put Up a Store

Put Up a Store

People need to get their materials from somewhere. So why not put up your own store? If you have the funds, put a physical store in a mall or other high traffic areas. But if you have limited funds, it might be easier to set up shop online. Aside from selling polymer clay, you can also sell tools, molds, rollers, texture makers and all kinds of other materials that people might need to use for their creations. Your store can be a one-stop shop for polymer clay art!
